This story idea came to me last night and I'm so excited to start writing it. Hopefully you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. It is really loosely based on a certain movie and I mean reeeeeally loosely based. I own neither D. Gray Man and I wouldn't want to since i probably wouldn't be able to do it justice.

Anywho, thanks for reading~

Long ago the noble King Mana ruled over the three great nations of Noah, Brasia, and Digrayma. He lived in a beautiful white castle. Each year he held elaborate balls for the people of Digrayma, where his castle was. Anyone from other lands could attend.

He had two children; they were twins. Allen and Helena looked oddly similar. Both had brownish-red hair and silver-blue eyes. They were 10 years old. Mana adored his children above all else. He had a habit of spoiling them but made sure they knew to be polite and kind. On a normal day, Helena would be in the gardens picking flowers for all the servants and people on the streets she met. She was loved by all and widely known as a kind princess with a warm heart. She loved her brother and always brought him the prettiest flowers she could find.

Of course Allen always accepted her flowers. For the most part he was always around Mana. He was the older of the twins by a few minutes and was first in line to the throne. He was always studying or following Mana around the house. He was just as polite and kind as Helena but hardly ever left the house. Everyone knew the habits of the twins. They were an odd pair. One was studious and the other did nothing but play but both got along extremely well.

One day, Allen had agreed to take time away from studying to play with Helena outside. The made was making them her special sweet pies today. It was a special treat. It was a good day; Mana didn't have much work to do that day. The family decided to have a picnic in the beautiful courtyard gardens.

"Father, look! There's some butterflies!"

Helena loved butterflies. The courtyard gardens were home to a rare breed of butterflies that had various vivid colored wings. There was countless species of flowers there. It was no wonder Helena spent most of her time there.

Helena got up suddenly and tapped Allen on the shoulder. Soon the whole family and some servants were involved in a game of tag. When Helena was finally tired out she forced Allen to make flower crowns with her for everyone. Mana stayed out with them to watch the sunset. When it was bedtime Allen was in his bed about to fall asleep when Helena got up from her bed and started poking him.

"What do you want now?"

"Can you pick flowers with me tomorrow?"

"Don't you have violin lessons tomorrow?"

"Wait, Allen, I thought Wednesdays were your days?"

"I already learned the song. Father wants to make sure you learn it by this weekend though."

"But Jane said the stargazers wouldn't be in full bloom after tomorrow!" Helena stated to tear up. Allen hated seeing his sister cry.

"How about I pick them for you tomorrow? It won't be the same but at least we'll have some for decoration for the party this weekend."

"You'd do that for me?" Helena sniffled.

"Of course, just make sure you practice well. Uncle Neah is really looking forward for us to play that song at his birthday party."

"You're right! Lenalee's coming over too! It'll be so much fun."

This coming weekend was Neah's birthday. There would be a large party. Mana wanted Allen and Helena to perform a song for the occasion. Allen had easily learned his piano part for it but Helena had been distracted by picking all the decorations. Neah loved them as much as Mana did. Lenalee was a dear friend of them. She was one of the less pretentious nobles.

"Lena said she was going to introduce us to her new friends."

"I wonder what they're like."

"If they're anything like her I bet they're wonderful."

Allen yawned. He was too tired to stay up any longer. Helena finally went back to her bed and went to sleep. Hopefully she'd finish her violin lessons quickly so she could play with Allen.

The next morning in another castle…

Lenalee sat at a small table with her two guests. Lenalee was going on about the party they were invited to. Kanda and Lavi had never been to the King's castle but they weren't particularly excited about going. Lenalee, on the other hand, was burstingwith excitement. She couldn't wait to see Helena and Allen. She hadn't seen them in a month. Digrayma was a large country and they didn't live close to each other.

Lavi had just moved in with his grandfather who lived nearby. His father had died years ago and his mother was now too sick to take care of him alone. Lavi would become an Earl and inherit the family fortune when he was older, but for now he was a 13 year old boy having a tea party with his friends.

Kanda was one of the adopted sons of Tiedoll who was a Baron. They were all nobles and had got along easily. Lenalee didn't really get along with most girls her age since they were usually snobby. Helena, however, was her best friend. Allen was a close second though.

At that moment Kanda got up to get some cookies from the pantry. Lavi looked around the room. It was a really fancy room. Lenalee's older brother, Komui, was a Duke. That was the main reason Lenalee got to be close to the royal family.

"So, tell me more about your friends. What were their names again?"

Lenalee lit up immediately. "Helena is beautiful and Allen is just so adorable. They're quite different from each other though."

"What do you mean?"

"Well Helena is such a pretty girl and she has her own personal living room for guests and it is one of the most beautiful rooms I've ever been in. She loves flowers and always wears such elegant dresses at her father's parties. I swear they're more stunning than the adult's dresses, but she is a princess after all."

"Sounds like she's one of those snooty girls Bookman introduces to me all the time."

"Oh no, she's one of the sweetest most kindest people I've ever met. She always smiles and she's so full of energy. All the servants love her. She's my bestest friend ever."

"If she's anything like you I'm sure she'll be nice. Isn't that a bit cliché though, the whole sweet and pure princess thing? Doesn't it get boring? No offense to her but for once I'd like to hear about an interesting princess."

"Interesting? She can dance, sing, play violin, draw, and many other things. She's just so talented…"

"Look that's nice and all but I was sorta hoping for something… cooler. That's typical princess stuff."

"Hmph, you just don't understand."

Lenalee admired Helena even though the princess was 2 years younger than her. She was everything most fathers wanted. She would no doubt easily find a suitor. Lenalee was having trouble doing some of these things. She really wished she could be a beautiful lady like her mother was. Whenever she saw the younger sister she couldn't help imagine her mother being proud of a daughter that wasn't even hers. Regardless of this, she loved Helena as much as she could love any sister.

"Anyways… What about Allen? What's he like?"

"Allen? Well, he studies a lot. I didn't talk to him as much but he was really polite. He spends most of his time studying or following the king but the times we did get to hang out he was surprisingly fun."

"Still sounds boring."

"Well what do you want from them?"

"I want… what if they led double lives and were secretly assassins from the future-"

"Lavi, they're 10."

"Maybe in the future everyone looks younger."

"Shut up."

"If you marry the prince you could become a queen."

"I don't like him that way."

"Why not? You said he's adorable. You already get along with his sister."

"Allen's like a little brother to me. Besides, I like someone else."

"Who?"

"You don't need to know."

"Is it a forbidden love? Did you have a love at first sight with some farmhand down in-"

"Lavi, shut up!"

For those of you reading my other story, I am definitely not giving up on that. This story however, will be a lot less confusing if I can help it. It's a lot more... linear. Don't worry though I assure you I'll make this one just as interesting.

Don't forget to tell me how you feel about the story. Criticism is helpful too, just remember to use constructive criticism. If any of you can guess what movie it is (extremely) loosely based of before I get to chapter 5, you might win a prize. It will definitely not be of monetary value but if you like my writing enough to analyze it, I'd be willing to write you something. We can even make a game out of this :3 Don't just go naming random movies though... that's no fun.
